The Associated Press reports that Senator John Coghill (R-North Pole) has asked the Senate Finance Committee to defer further action on his bill for this legislative session.
Apparently Sen. Coghill recognized some questions that were raised during initial hearings, and didn't yet have good answers for them.
The bill would have specifically permitted the carry of firearms on University of Alaska campuses, at least in open areas and parts of buildings not specifically prohibiting such possession. While such carry is not illegal, the University's Board of Regents has instituted a "no firearms on campus" policy, leading to some minor clashes in the past.
This issue is far from over.

URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)
